Person ordered removed from Florida Sex Offender Registry

Finally, some great news to report.

A person (note: no longer a “person required to register as a sex offender”) has been ordered removed from the Florida Sex Offender Registry.

Florida Statue 943.0435(11) contains a provision that says, an individual “shall be considered for removal of the requirement to register as a sexual offender” if they meet certain requirements, including; it being at least 25 years (formerly 20) since they were released from any sanction, have not been arrested for any other crimes, and meet a qualifying offense (not limited to Romeo and Juliet).

Attorney Ron Kleiner was successful in obtaining this relief on behalf of one of his clients, who will now become a “person” again!

If you feel you might qualify for relief under this provision contact your attorney, or for more information write to [email protected].

    Out-of-State conviction.
    My husband’s conviction was in Iowa. While he was still required to register in Iowa, he moved to Florida. They forced him to register there. He then moved to Washington State. Iowa has since released him from having to register. Washington State does not require, either.
    How can he get removed from Florida’s sex offender registry, if he wasn’t convicted in that state?

      Were you removed in Florida? If so how? When was your crime? My incident was 31 years ago. I was retro actively added for life.

      If I was removed I would come on here and tell everyone how I did it, I would want to help others try and restore some of their freedoms.
      Please share.

        Hi ya’ll. I was wandering if anymore here can help me out. My son in law was convicted at age 14 and went to prison for 2 years at that time. In 2019 he was arrested for not registering his address within 72 hours. He went to register and was told because it was outside 72 hours that he would eventually be arrested but not that day. He was arrested 3 months later after being settled in his job and taking care of his kids. He was sentenced to 2 years and was released in October 2021. He went that day and registered as transient. Than he called the sheriffs office and inquired about living with my daughter and his son. They called him 2 days later from the sheriffs office and said it was ok. He went that day and registered at her address and got an id through DMV showing her address. The next day he received a call from the sheriffs office stating he couldn’t live there so he went and register as homeless again ad changed his state id to transient. He has been working since the day he was released. Today he was rearrested stating he did not register. Thy told my daughter she could come and bail him out. When she gets to the jail she was advised she couldn’t bail him out because he was homeless? I’m not confused. Is there a was yo to get a case like this re-opened?

          What a nightmare for your son-in-law. Have you checked out FAC’s attorney referral webpage?

          I will pray for you and his situation. I really cannot give any other advice as I have been fighting this registry non sense, since 1997 with only worse and worse results.

          However, since he was so young I am surprised he went to prison. I see multiple repeat adult offenders get just probation. A lawyer is your best bet. If you cannot afford then a public defender, however many of them are so overworked they often do a poor job (my opinion)

          Proverbs 23:18. There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
          Amen!

      My ex went to inform the FDLE that he was going out of town and gave his permanent address in another state where his crime started. When he got there and notify the sheriff department where he is and come to find out that he has been off their registry list since 2018 or 2019. So he is living in Michigan and no longer has to register. He was also told if he visits any other states and he has permanently address for Michigan and visits Florida or any states he will not show up on the registry list.

        Would have been nice if someone had sent him a letter with such information. Just another bit of evidence that they don’t give a damn about us unless it makes them money, such as locking us up.

        Reminds me of a guy that was in my therapy group years ago. His probation obligation for therapy had ended but the therapist never notified him of that and he had been going and paying for years before his probation officer informed him he could have stopped going years ago.

    Is it possible for a juvenile sex offender to get a pardon if I’ve completed all requirements?

        FAC I liked that and you are right. I have a brother that lives in the Temple Terrance Area, a retired dentist. My sister and myself are in VA another sister in VA and one in WV.

        Its interesting about how these sex registries have many different avenues. Sure I did a lot of stupid things growing up and in college and it was much to do with law. In collage I decided to go back to my hometown take Criminal Justice courses besides’ all the law enforcement in my town knew me.

        I remember when learning booking procedures at jail. They told me to be at jail and I went and the jailer said what are you doing here. I told him about the booking procedures and he said you already know all this stuff so we just sit around and talked. The jailer was actually in one of my CJ classes. So jailers are human also.

        This registry is different from any other offense but if you keep pressing the governor good can come out of all this. And yes we have a new President that will fight for justice in many ways.
